Re: Cat 777D Mining Truck
Those rules are just pathetic :(
I googled and I'm pretty sure the grille is black.
The photo on page 7 is dusty and hence might look like raw stainless steel.
But the black&yellow paint scheme...

I'm pretty sure you could use the stickers - you may not sell it as a CAT model, but for personal use, I would be surprised if Caterpillar had any power over that?!
Still, they should be proud to...

Re: servoes
I have tried and worn out the "Toward Pro" 995 (several actually).
Extreme slack in the gear and the known overshoot problems after a few hours of operating my grader.

Re: CAT 535C Grapple Skidder
I am not familiar with RadioShack's products, but if you mean the simple 3-pin electronic part that regulates the input voltage down to 5V, this is not the ideal solution:
They typically do not cope...

Re: RC4WD Excavator
The transmitter is a variant of the Turnigy 9x, the lesser version one.
This is not a 9-channel radio. It has 7 proportional channels and 1 on-off channel.
The better version 2 costs about 60 USD...
